The problem is that the nature of the crime does not always reflect executions. Death row folks are disproportionately poor. May folks on death row had public defenders instead of high profile lawyers. Basically in today’s society you are not on death row because you committed a grisly crime (Loads of folks are…

The fact is that fast food does exist. While some people eat it some people do not. That’s where the choice comes in.

Actually women should be able to get preggo and take the pill every day if they want. The point is if they want. Its not our place to judge or care what they do. They holes their choice.

I Live in the bay area. There is a severe lack of bars and strip clubs in my town. As a single guy I really wish what she said was true and there really was a strip club and bar at every corner.

Thats probably something that NFCU does. In general its a crapshot. Credit card transactions are legally protected from fraud. Debit cards are sort of protected. Prepaid debit cards have no protections (legally) your issuer might “do you a solid”. Paypal for example has the same protections on its prepaid debit cards…

Disposable cards are the worst for fraud. Its almost guaranteed that you will have no protection in case something is wrong. Better to use a real Credit Card.

I’m just saying that the synchros last a long time. More than the life of a car. I am willing to bet that 100% of all cars that life to be over 200K miles dont heel and toe.

I have a 2002 Honda CRV with 220K miles. Ive never heel and toe’ed ever. my dad who owned it before me drove uphill for years. Weve changed the clutch once but I can guarantee you that the synchros are doing fine. Im fairly certain the synchros are built to last (they are brass) and you cant easily wear them down,…

Instructions please!!!

That’s not really true. In most of Asia almost all cars that are larger than a hatch back’s are driven by drivers. Many cars are company cars. However People still buy BMW’s and Mers (in increasing numbers) Since they pretty much only want the brand. Many of these cars are driven by human drivers and most will never…

Just from experience it seems Toyota has nailed the joystick style shifter in their Prius. The Shifter is a loose joystick that can move. However the N position (the middle) is automatically park. That is if in neutral the car is in park.

The issue for me is that Volvo still only has a concept. Its sort of claiming that Volvo’s electric car (in development) is better than Tesla’s. While it might be better its not on the market so its a moot point.

I totally forgot about the ILX. Yes thats a very good example of badge engineering.

Acura specifically is not badge engineering. Honda and Acura share platforms but its not exactly badge engineering.

Just a quick point for those shopping: You can add the Nav and the APP control to any trim level (you basically buy SD cards). So you could get the Base and still have the NAV and App control.

I dont think its about the actual performance. I am simply talking about the uniqueness. It like driving an Accura TL. You can claim as much as you want that the FWD of the TL is better than a Civic. But the RWD 3-series will never let you forget that the TL is basically a very nice Accord.

Personally for me the issue is that Its no longer Unique. The current Honda CR-V has a similar layout.

Personally for me the biggest issue is that the new AWD system is no different than what you can find in a 20K Kia Sedona. In fact the Honda has has this Quasi AWD since 1997 (the Realtime 4WD in the Honda CR-V).

A head on collision where two vehicles are exactly positioned is extremely rare. You are better off testing against a wall. (which is actually how a crash test is done).

I do agree. I think production versions will look better. As far as I know this is a DARPA test vessel.
